Abstract: Donor and recipient size matching during heart transplant can be assessed using weight or predicted heart mass (PHM) ratios. We developed sex-specific allomteric equations for PHM and predicted lean body mass (PLBM) using the United… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.70369
Abstract: While various models are useful for donor‐recipient size matching, the optimal approach for predicting the correct match remains unclear. We sought to determine the association between ideal body weight (IBW) ratio and post‐transplant survival. read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/ti.2022.10226
Abstract: Previous analyses in pediatric heart transplant (HT) recipients using weight or height have not found donor-recipient size-mismatch to be associated with post-transplant mortality. A recent study in 3,215 normal US children developed an equation for… read more here.
